AC/DC\s first new release since the 2014 "Rock or Bust" album, will be available this November.

"Power Up"

*one of the band's early albums was "Power Age" :)

The band has had a rough go of it since the Rock or Bust album.

The news that Malcolm Young was forced into retirement due to numerous health problems suffered in recent years, including lung cancer, heart problems, a stroke and dementia. His nephew Stevie Young, played rhythm guitar on the record.
Malcolm died in November 2017.

Phil Rudd, who played on the record, was charged with a few criminal offenses and was sentenced to eight months of home detention. He was replaced by Chris Slade, who was AC/DC's drummer from 1989-94.

Brian Johnson was told that he would risk "total hearing loss" if he continued. Axl Rose stepped in to front the band for the European leg

Cliff Williams, who had been in the band since 1977, announced his retirement upon the Rock or Bust tour's conclusion.

BUT...
Johnson spent two and a half years working on a secret invention that would allow him to safely perform live alongside his bandmates again, Rudd served his sentence and entered therapy, and Williams decided that if all his band-mates were returning, he didn't want to miss out on the fun, either.
And so, the lineup that recorded Rock or Bust was back in the studio together again.

Power Up !!!

The first single will be released today, with it already seen on AC/DC's Ytube channel :)

"Shot in the Dark"

This was only a short teaser clip which was posted earlier this month, but early this morning AC/DC put the complete song on the channel :)
